The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X395S10AP is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriages. It is the small end of the range, for light-duty precision positioning in a tight envelope — compact stages, small pick-and-place heads and inspection fixtures.
This is the precision-grade version of the 395 mm LRM12 set: LRM12N2X395S10AP pairs a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail with two standard-length carriages, preload A (none), and accuracy grade P - the tighter of the two grades offered on this series. The rail mounts from the top, with the fixing holes offset 10 mm from the rail end.
Accuracy P only pays off if the mounting surface is prepared to match, so specify a ground or finish-milled seat, and with two carriages on the rail put the datum face on the same side for both to hold running accuracy along the travel. The recirculating balls are ISO 3290 G10, Japanese made - a ball grade, not an accuracy standard for the guide - seated behind a double-lip seal and covered by the outer strip that keeps debris off the sealing lip. The one environmental figure the catalogue publishes is thermal: 80 C ambient maximum, with transient peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are confirmed per model rather than published, so ask us by RFQ before finalizing the design.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LRM catalogue. The catalogue does not publish load or moment ratings, running parallelism, speed limits, or carriage base material for LRM. We will not quote a figure we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm it for your model.

Rail and carriage(s) supplied together, matched as a set. If you are not sure which form you need, send us the machine or the original part number and we will confirm it before you order.
A fixture that fine-positions a fiber collimator against a coupler during epoxy cure, where precision grade P tightens the running tolerance the alignment budget needs.
A benchtop rig centering a small camera lens module over its sensor, where two carriages on one rail hold the sensor plate level through the full 395 mm of travel.
A maintenance upgrade for an electronic gauge stand whose worn slide is being rebuilt around a new guide; this set arrives with the rail and two carriages ready to fit.
Accuracy grade P is the tighter of the two LRM grades, so budget the mounting surface to match it: ground or finish-milled flat, with a datum face chosen on one side of the rail and, with two carriages on one rail, kept on that same side for both blocks. If the application needs published ratings to size against, move up to LSH, which lists dynamic, static and moment figures per carriage; if travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity instead, compare LGC.
The pre-order checklist: set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, carriage count 2, rail length 395 mm, preload A (none), accuracy P, top-mount fixing, and a confirmed load and moment rating from us - the figures are not in the catalogue, so send the RFQ before you lock the design.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide, 395 mm long stainless-steel rail with two standard carriages fitted, preload A meaning none, precision accuracy grade P, top-mount rail fixing. Installation torque runs 58.8 N.cm for M2 screws or 196 N.cm for M3 screws into steel, with lower values into cast iron and aluminium. Operating ambient must stay at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C. Grease lasts 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first - at a 200 mm stroke cycling once a second, that distance arrives in roughly three weeks of continuous running. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model before you order, so send the RFQ.
Every LRM carriage-only code carries a pairing letter from A to E that must match the rail it runs on. When ordering a spare, read the letter off the original carriage or rail rather than assuming, and expect a special order - only a small number of carriage-only SKUs are stocked, all pairing code C. The maker also cautions that even with the ball-retention design, presenting a carriage onto the rail at an angle or swapping it quickly can drop balls, so a dummy rail is worth planning for if carriage swaps will be routine.
